Chapter VII: Response

On this day, Wei Luo went to the official road very early, and now that she has learned the disguise technique, this weak body has also developed some habits for walking, so she wants to walk more every day and reach Yicheng as early as possible.

When Wei Luo stopped and finally walked forty miles, the sun had gradually sunk in the west, but Wei Luo was in a large area of boundless woods, looking up, only the green of the trees was left on both sides of the official road, this green was boundless, Wei Luo couldn't see the edge no matter how he looked at it, not to mention twenty miles.

Not good! Could it be that tonight is going to be camping again? Or sleeping in the woods?

Wei Luo panicked, but she was so tired that she couldn't lift her strength at all. Eating only a small amount of green beans for several days in a row, not only did he not have enough to eat, but also the consequences of not having rice grains for nourishment now appeared, Wei Luo only felt that his whole person was in a panic, and there was a lack of heat in his henchmen, even after resting, the whole person did not have the energy he had before.

Wei Luo stretched out his hand to cover his stomach, turned around and walked towards a big stone on the side of the road: If you are in a hurry, it is better to take a rest.

She had only walked two or three times when she heard a rapid hoof sound coming from the fork in the road on the right behind her. The sound of hooves was chaotic and numerous, and it became clearer and clearer, and in the blink of an eye, it was behind Wei Luo.

A large group of knights is coming!

Wei Luo was startled and hurriedly walked to the side of the road. By the time she reached the side of the road, the knights were clearly visible.

Wei Luo turned to look at the group of knights.

When she looked at it, she couldn't help but froze for a moment.

What appeared in her field of vision was a team of bull knights! On each of the twenty or thirty black and strong buffaloes sat a swordsman dressed in sackcloth and holding a long sword.

These people were still more than one or two hundred miles away from Wei Luo, and a smell of cattle and sweat and blood on people came to his nose, and this smell was very unpleasant, making Wei Luo involuntarily retreat a few steps back to the woods behind him.

Although the ox did not run fast, the distance of one or two hundred meters was still in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the group was about to rush by, a rough middle-aged voice came, "Stop!" ”

"Whew-"

Everyone pulled the rope at the same time and stopped.

Wei Luo's heart tightened when he saw that they had actually stopped in front of him, and he took a few steps back into the woods.

Among the crowd, the first to speak, the big man with a full face and beard, with a long scar from the corner of his left eye, that reached the corner of his mouth, turned around and looked at Wei Luo.

Seeing him staring at Wei Luo, a young man with a blue face behind his beard said: "Big brother, this kid is poor and weak, he has no rider under his crotch, no attendant behind him, he is panicked like a chicken in the rain, what are you staring at him?" ”

Not only this young man, but all the big men looked at Wei Luo curiously, waiting for the bearded man's answer.

Almost all of these people had wounds on their bodies, everyone's hair was very messy with the wind, and there was no sign of repair on their beards.

These are all secondly, there is a bloody aura in this group! They must have killed someone! Moreover, from the words of the young man just now, it can be heard that they look like a gang of robbers.

Wei Luo only looked at it twice, then his face turned pale, and he cowered and took two more steps into the woods behind him.

After looking Wei Luo up and down for a while, he laughed, "Brothers, please look, although this child is as cowardly as a chicken, his eyes are clear and not like vulgar things. After a pause, he laughed and said loudly, "The most important thing is that when he first saw us riding a bull just now, his expression was not the fear of a layman, but funny!" It can be seen that he is accustomed to nobles who ride horses. I dare to conclude that this boy has an extraordinary background, and there must be something precious in the baggage behind him. ”

I see!

In a burst of admiration, Wei Luo's face turned white again, and she found for the first time that she was not vigilant enough, far from enough!

At this time, Wei Luo was no longer afraid in her heart, her face was white, her steps no longer retreated, but raised her eyes to look at the men, and said with her hands crossed: "This big brother has good eyesight!" ”

Her voice was clear, but she didn't tremble at all, which made all the big men startled at the same time, and they all turned their heads to look at Wei Luo.

Wei Luo looked at the beard with admiration, and said loudly: "As the eldest brother said, the younger brother is really a Yue person, and his family background is acceptable. Wei Luo knew that the tone of his body must have some kind of Yue accent that everyone could know, so he couldn't lie in this regard.

After a pause, Wei Luo continued: "The little brother has been envious of the rangers who have traveled thousands of miles with swords since he was a child, so he hid from his family and left his home country with a horse team, hey! Who knew that as soon as he entered the Chu realm, he encountered a big thief, and all his property was robbed, and everyone thought that the younger brother was weak and dragged down, so they abandoned the younger brother here. Ay. ”

Wei Luo sighed heavily, and in the surprise of everyone, he untied the burden behind him very happily and held it up with both hands, and respectfully placed it on the ground five steps in front of the big men. After putting down the baggage, she flexibly untied the baggage, revealing the straw sandals inside, as well as more than 100 coins.

When the big men saw the coins in the baggage and the jade pendant she had pulled off her embroidered shoes, they all showed disappointed expressions.

Wei Luo glanced at their disappointment and dissatisfaction from the corner of his eyes, as well as the murderous faces that were still tense, continued to lower his head, and took out more than a dozen coins from each of his sleeve pockets. After reaching for the coin, she honestly placed it all on the open bag, then straightened up, and shook her long sleeves with her arms, so that everyone could hear that there was no more coin in her sleeve pocket.

After doing these actions, Wei Luo took a few steps back, crossed his hands again, and said respectfully: "Brothers, these are the last treasures of the younger brother after he abandoned the country and left his homeland, and I hereby give them to all my brothers. ”

When she said this, her voice was crisp and slightly hoarse, and her expression was really respectful, which made people feel good. Especially when it comes to the words 'abandon the country and leave the homeland', there is a slight choked voice, which really makes people feel pity when they hear it.

At this time, Wei Luo was a little lucky: these people obviously didn't look down on their own coins, maybe they were sympathetic together, not only let themselves go, but also didn't want these coins.

The bearded man stared at the burden for a while, and then stared at Wei Luo up and down a few times, and suddenly his voice was raised, and he shouted: "Pick it up, let's go!" ”

"No!"

When a big man flew under the cow and picked up the baggage, the bearded man stared at Wei Luo and said, "Xiao'er is quite good!" For the sake of your acquaintance, today the master took your money and spared your life. Brethren, let's go—"

"Let's go!"

The cow walked in the wind, and the dust was blowing on his face, and it was not until everyone was far away that Wei Luo fell to the ground with his feet weak.

Stretching out his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, Wei Luo reached out and touched the last dozens of coins tied to his feet, thinking: Fortunately, I was thoughtful.

In a blink of an eye, she thought again: These coins can only be eaten for more than ten days, and now I have no capital to start a small business, but what should I do?
